Protecting Poole homes from damp and timber decay
Poole’s coastal setting means that properties are often exposed to higher levels of moisture and humidity. Over time, this can lead to damp, timber decay, or mould if not properly managed. Our local team provides professional damp and timber treatment services to protect homes across Poole and the surrounding area.
Common damp problems in Poole properties
Many homes in Poole experience issues caused by rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation. These problems often show as stained walls, peeling paint, or musty smells. Left untreated, damp can damage plaster, weaken timber, and encourage mould growth.
Identifying the cause of damp
Every property is different, so finding the root cause of moisture is the first step. Our surveys assess where water is entering and whether the problem is structural or surface level. Once identified, the right treatment can be applied to stop further damage and restore the property to a dry condition.
Timber decay and woodworm
Timber can weaken over time if it stays damp. Common problems include wet rot, dry rot, and woodworm. Each of these issues requires a specific treatment to remove the source of moisture and protect the wood from future damage. Our technicians inspect the affected areas and recommend the most effective repair plan.
